Detroit, Michigan – Southeast Michigan residents can expect a bright Memorial Day, but unsettled weather is on the way by midweek, bringing rain and possible thunderstorms to the region by Tuesday night into Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, Memorial Day will stay dry with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s across Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Flint. However, cloud cover increases Tuesday with a chance for scattered showers and evening rain. Thunderstorms are likely by Wednesday, especially in the afternoon and evening hours, as highs dip slightly into the mid-60s.
Cities like Livonia, Monroe, and Pontiac may see slick roads during morning and evening commutes on Tuesday and Wednesday. Lows will hover in the low 50s, so residents should keep rain gear handy and secure outdoor items ahead of potential gusty winds.
While Monday offers prime grilling and travel conditions, those heading back Tuesday or Wednesday should monitor local alerts and avoid travel during downpours.
Rain and storm chances are expected to taper off by late Wednesday night, but updated advisories may be issued as the system develops.
